Section 90 (Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts): Introduction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Infiniti QX4, 2003 Infiniti Q45, 2003 Infiniti M45, 2003 Infiniti I35, and 2003 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set a trouble code, but it may cause driveability problems.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage.
NOTE:
For sensors not listed, see appropriate DTC test in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.
NOTE:
Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
